Fall is by far my favorite time of year, and Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday… I love the whole concept of giving thanks, being around family… And of course the food :-) I also love decorating for fall. I've collected some inexpensive decorations over the years, and I hope that it will help inspire you to do some decorating on a dime yourself.

Mini pumpkins from a local farm and I-Pick, leaf bunches from the dollar store, and platter from the store where I work when went on sale… Altogether only about $7
|
 |
| I got the garland at the Dollar Store (you need to keep your eyes open for the good ones, and shop around!), and the pumpkin candle holder I won at a baby shower...so total cost was only $1! I love decorating fireplace mantles! |
 |
| Again, the garland is from the dollar store. I also cut up a garland to make little leaf bunches (which work great when tied around napkins with raffia for a gorgeous Thanksgiving table!). I filled a basket I already had, and placed this on top of a bookshelf. Total cost - $2 |
 |
| The scarecrow was from a craft I had made at church years ago (just toll painted wood pieces held together with wire, and hay glued into little hoes on the ends of arms and legs). I placed little sparkly pumpkins throughout my house (I won these as well, but you can get them at Michael's, Walmart or dollar store). |
Even though Thanksgiving day is over in Canada, there is still a long stretch of time before I start decorating for Christmas (usually December 1st). I find fall decorations always give a cozy and homey feel to the house! I always use the same decorations (plus any new ones I have acquired), but I don't always decorate the same way, in the same combinations. That way, the decorating seems fresh every year :)
If you have any other inexpensive fall decorating ideas, I'd love to hear them, so please share!
